Original U.S. Civil War Era Army Officer's M1860 Dress Sword with Scabbard Military Audio which does make the blade

which does make the blade somewhat hard to sheathe

so he may have brought the idea back with him for further development

This action earned him a Bronze Star

The condition of this rifle is nice

Original U.S. Civil War Era Army Officer's M1860 Dress Sword with Scabbard Military Audio which does make the bladeOriginal Item: Only One Available. Just received out of an old collection along with about 100 other swords! This is the standard Union Officer's Dress or Parade Sword Model 1860, as issued during the Civil War. It has a very nice etched 30" steel blade, bearing the usual Federal Eagle and stands of arms. There is not any maker or outfitter listed on the blade, possibly because the etching has worn off the ricasso. The sword measures 35 1 2" overall,
